Writing … It’s Not Just a Hobby Anymore

Writing … It’s Not Just a Hobby Anymore

Tonight was the inaugural broadcast of The Writing Biz. After a couple of technical glitches in the green room with the help of my friend and guest, Charlotte Pierce we went live. With this first episode I wanted to explain what my intentions are and how the program can help writers. The reason I decided to start a show that addresses the business side of writing is because I feel that writers are strongly underserved in this area. I want to provide resources, tools and ideas that can be applied immediately to your business, so that you can get back to writing.

2:13 Why do a show on the business of writing?

4:14 When your writing isn’t a hobby anymore.

4:42 Why you need to start building a platform.

6:08 You, yeah you, are responsible for much more the publishing, marketing and other parts of the writing business.

7:38 If you make money you can buy toys. Cool ones.

9:30 Maybe you need your own “mini-me”.

14:00 Hmmmmm…a podcast.

15:50 More topics that we will talk about.

18:38 Do you live in a pinball machine to?

23:05 Cool! But how do you sign up?

26:26 Get your gold pen here!

So, here is what I want from you…INTERACTION. I want to hear about your struggles in your writing business. I want to hear what is working for you. I want to help you find answers to your questions. I promise you that I will do my best to find the people, tools and resources that can help your business grow and be efficient enough that you have the time you need to write.
